Device for operating rear side windows of convertible vehicles

Abstract

A device that includes at least one slider joined to a window which slides along the rail defining the trajectory for the window. The trajectory is defined by a departure angle formed by the vertical and initial upper curvature of the rail which is ±45° and the curvature radius of the aforementioned trajectory which is about 0 to 500 mm. The device includes a means of adjusting the position of the device with regard to a door including an upper pivoting axle on the rail which allows the device to tilt to fit it in the door with two lower transversal screws for lateral adjustment, and one screw on the slider for adjusting the window with regard to the rail and the slider.

1. An operating device for a vehicle, consisting comprising of:
 at least one slider joined to a window; and 
 a single guide rail, the at least one slider slides along the guide rail, the guide rail defining a curved trajectory which the window follows during operation of the device, the guide rail having a side that is curved, and the side of the guide rail being substantially perpendicular to the window, 
 the trajectory being determined by an angle of departure formed by a vertical axis and an axis defined by an upper curvature part of the rail and by a curvature radius of the rail; and 
 means for adjusting the position of the device with regard to a door of the vehicle, wherein the angle of departure is between +45° and −45°. 
 
     
     
       2. An operating device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein
 the means of adjusting the position of the device include an upper pivoting axle on the rail which allows the device to tilt slightly to fit into the door, using at least two lower transversal screws for lateral adjustment, and at least one screw on the slider which allows the position of the window to be adjusted with regard to the rail and the slider. 
 
     
     
       3. An operating device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein
 the curvature radius is more than 500 mm. 
 
     
     
       4. An operating device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein
 the slider is moved by a cable.
